The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 46

Chapter 46

The days before the New Year passed in a flash. As the year-end summary approached, the accounting work also became busy. The various income and employee reward expenses were all large figures. Xu Qingyan had to balance his studies and work. Lu Ze felt sorry for him and wanted him to relax, but Xu Qingyan said that he had to see things through to the end and couldn’t just throw away the stall halfway. If one person was missing, it would also be a trouble for the factory.

Lu Ze was helpless and could only occasionally cook some soup for him to supplement his body, and urge him to rest early every night.

During this period, Xu Qingyan had also been living at Lu Ze’s house. They would eat and study together on weekdays, and just being together was sweet.

Lu Ze had also been keeping his promise. Apart from kissing and hugging, he had not done anything out of line to Xu Qingyan. After all, he was still young and not yet an adult. It was not good for his body to do these things too early.

As the New Year approached, the factory also began to have a holiday. But after all, the number of orders was there, and it was not realistic for all the employees to rest. Fortunately, Lu Ze’s overtime pay was high, and many employees were willing to work overtime during this period.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Lu Ze finally finished his work here and took Xu Qingyan home with him.

He had ordered a car before and had only had time to pick it up a while ago. On the way back to the village, he finally didn’t have to suffer from the biting cold wind. He could even easily take the full trunk of New Year’s goods back.

The journey that used to take more than two hours by bicycle now only took less than an hour.

The black Santana drove into the village, attracting a lot of amazed looks. The children who were playing outside also unconsciously ran after the car. When they saw the car stop in front of the Xu family’s house, they were even more surprised. And when they saw the person who came out with large and small bags, they were even more in disbelief.

“Is this the Lu family’s kid?”

“And the Xu family’s kid…”

“I was wondering why I haven’t seen the Lu family’s kid recently. Has he gone to the city to do business and become a big boss?”

“How much is a car like this worth? How much did the Lu family’s couple leave for the Lu family’s kid…”

“But why is the Xu family’s kid with him too? I’ve never heard that he’s so close to the Xu family’s kid…”

The pointing fingers of the surroundings fell on the two of them. Lu Ze didn’t mind when he heard it and just smiled at them, then carried the things into the Xu family’s house.

Before the two of them had even stepped over the threshold, they heard Xu’s father’s loud laughter. “You’re back, you’re back! The two children are back!”

Xu Qingyan’s action paused. This voice didn’t seem to be coming from inside the house, but from outside.

He thought that perhaps his father had come out to sunbathe, but he didn’t expect to see him when he entered the door, and his eyes immediately turned red.

“Dad!” he quickly took two steps forward.

In the yard, Xu’s father was sitting in a wheelchair, holding the wheels with both hands and walking towards the door, a smile in his eyes as he looked at them.

“Yanyan!”

He was smiling happily, but Xu Qingyan couldn’t help but want to cry.

“Dad.” He put the things in his hand on the ground, squatted down in front of Xu’s father, and touched his legs with both hands, his voice a little choked. “Dad…”

“Why are you crying?” Xu’s father raised his hand and patted his head, the smile on his face happy and cheerful, much younger than his previous troubled appearance.

“You’ll be eighteen after the New Year. Why are you still like a child, crying at the drop of a hat?”

“I-I’m happy.” Xu Qingyan wiped away his tears, stood up and looked at his father, then turned back to look at Lu Ze. “Lu-ge…”

Even if Lu Ze didn’t say anything, Xu Qingyan could figure out who was responsible for his father’s wheelchair.

Lu Ze put the things at the kitchen door and, seeing this, helplessly rubbed his head. “I didn’t tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise. How did I make you cry?”

Xu Qingyan sniffled and said, “I’m not crying.”

But the crying tone in his voice couldn’t be helped.

Xu’s mother came out of the kitchen and, seeing this, couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Alright, alright, hurry up and wipe your tears. You’re such a big person, and you’re still crying. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Xu Qingyan whimpered a few times, then turned his head to look at his father. Seeing him being ordered around by his mother and still smiling, the hand behind his back couldn’t help but secretly pinch Lu Ze, his gaze full of fine and warm light, and his affection was warm.

Lu Ze also pinched his hand back, and all their affection was in their smile at each other.

The two didn’t dare to be so presumptuous in front of their parents. Lu Ze took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Xu’s mother, while Xu Qingyan revolved around his father, like a little follower, seeing him turn around in his wheelchair, his eyes full of novelty.

Xu’s mother looked at Lu Ze, who was working in a proper manner, and couldn’t help but chide, “What are you doing here? You’re tired from the road. Hurry up and rest. I can handle it myself here!”

Lu Ze smiled. “I’m not that tired. I’ve been sitting all the way, so it’s a good time to stretch my muscles.”

Xu’s mother smiled, then looked outside and couldn’t help but shake her head. “That child, Yanyan…” What’s the matter with him leaving the guest here and playing by himself?

Lu Ze said, “He’s still young. It’s good for him to relax.”

Xu’s mother looked at Lu Ze and, thinking of the changes in her family these past few days, she wanted to say thank you, but she felt that a simple “thank you” was not sincere enough. In the end, she just lowered her head and smiled, and took a braised chicken leg from the side. “Try it. How does it taste?”

Lu Ze didn’t refuse. He took a bite and said, “Auntie’s cooking is naturally needless to say.” He gave her a thumbs-up.

Xu’s mother was coaxed into a happy mood.

Xu Qingyan didn’t stay outside for too long. After a while, he obediently came in to help with the fire and other chores. Seeing this, Xu’s mother poked his forehead. “You still know to come over.”

Xu Qingyan just smiled and acted coquettishly at him.

The atmosphere in the Xu family was unusually light and cheerful, and the various speculations from the outside world could not affect them in the slightest.

At noon, the whole family went into action and prepared a large table of dishes. A few days before the New Year, Xu’s mother had been busy preparing braised dishes, as well as some large fish and meat, and even beef and mutton that she had bought at a high price on the street. Today, they were all on the table. Although the family didn’t say anything on the surface, they were extremely enthusiastic at the dinner table and kept telling Lu Ze to eat.

Xu’s father was happy and even drank some wine with Lu Ze, saying that he didn’t have to go back to the city today and that he would drink with Lu Ze until he was drunk. In the end, Xu’s mother and Xu Qingyan were infected by the mood and also started drinking.

Lu Ze looked at the young man beside him. After taking a small sip of wine, his features were all tightly wrinkled, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Xu Qingyan watched them exchange toasts, as if he were unconvinced. Before Lu Ze could say anything, he saw him tilt his head back and drink the small cup of wine in one gulp, and then he coughed violently.

He quickly patted his back. “What’s the hurry? It’s all drunk slowly.”

Xu Qingyan was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue, and his eyes were even watery. “It’s so spicy. What’s so good about it?”

Xu’s father watched his son make a fool of himself and laughed heartily. He even waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, let him drink. What kind of a young man can’t drink? He can practice his alcohol tolerance at home, so he won’t be bullied at the dinner table outside in the future!”

Lu Ze smiled and didn’t speak. Xu Qingyan’s face was red and he said, “I won’t drink anymore. I won’t drink anymore in the future. It’s not good at all.”

Xu’s mother also couldn’t help but laugh. “You thought it was like a drink?”

He stuck out his tongue and only felt his stomach was burning, and it hadn’t gone down yet.

Lu Ze served him a bowl of soup and let him calm down. He then obediently held the bowl and drank, and never mentioned drinking again.

After three rounds of wine, Xu’s mother had also drunk a lot, and her face was a little red. In the end, she said she would go and boil some water to prepare for washing up. Xu’s father even pulled him and started talking drunkenly, saying how difficult these years had been, saying thank you to him, and saying that he should let Qingyan remember his kindness for the rest of his life.

This body of Lu Ze’s had been trained in alcohol tolerance, so he naturally wouldn’t fall down so easily. Therefore, he was still sober in the end. Xu Qingyan had only drunk a little. Hearing his father’s words and feeling Lu Ze’s hand squeezing his under the table, his face couldn’t help but turn redder and redder.

Xu’s father looked at him and only thought that his alcohol tolerance was not good and it was showing on his face. He let out a drunken burp and smiled. “Yanyan’s alcohol tolerance is not… not good! Back then, your mother and I… we were both… able to drink. You’re not good!”

Lu Ze smiled and raised his glass to him. “He can’t drink. I’ll drink with you.”

Xu’s father laughed heartily and patted his shoulder, saying “good” several times.

By the time they had finally drunk to their heart’s content, it was already the middle of the night. After everyone had washed up, Xu’s mother opened her mouth and said, “Don’t go back today. Your house hasn’t been cleaned for so long, and it doesn’t feel like a home when you go back. You can just spend the New Year at my house for these few days.”

“Yanyan’s bed is also big enough, and the quilt was just dried today. You can just squeeze in with Yanyan and make do for two nights.”

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan paused. Lu Ze glanced at him. “Will it be too much trouble for you?”

Xu’s mother chided, “What’s the trouble? It’s just for one night. Can a big young man lose a piece of flesh?”

The more Xu’s mother spoke, the redder Xu Qingyan’s face became. Lu Ze didn’t answer, just looked at him with a smile. Xu Qingyan met his mother’s gaze, tugged at his sleeve, and said, “Just… just stay here.”

A smile flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes, and only then did he agree.

Although there was no electric blanket at home, the quilts had just been dried at noon and were still fluffy. There was even a faint warmth of the sun inside. Xu’s mother was worried that they wouldn’t be able to warm up the bed, so she even filled a hot water bottle and put it in their bed.

After Xu’s mother had tidied up for them, she told them to go to bed early. The sound of the door closing was not loud, but it was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

The two had shared a bed before. In the lounge at the factory, after lunch, Lu Ze would always pull him to rest for a while. The two would sleep in each other’s arms and were familiar with each other.

But he always felt that the atmosphere today was different from before.

Lu Ze touched his head and said, “Go to sleep.”

He had taken off his outer shirt, leaving only his underwear. Xu Qingyan was too embarrassed to continue taking off his clothes, so he just got into the bed and covered his head, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He consciously rolled to the inside, leaving a large space for Lu Ze.

Lu Ze got into bed and turned off the light. There was no light and no sound in the room, and the sound of him pulling the blanket was particularly obvious.

Xu Qingyan could clearly feel the continuous warmth coming from his body.

The noise gradually became smaller, and Lu Ze was already lying flat on the bed.

Xu Qingyan hesitated for a while, then slowly moved closer to the source of heat.

The moment he touched Lu Ze’s body, a large hand also rested on his waist, pulling him into the hard chest.

The two were pressed tightly together, and the heat was transmitted to each other, and their heartbeats were clearly audible.

Xu Qingyan was shy in his heart, but his whole person shrank into Lu Ze’s arms, and one hand also hugged his waist.

In the quiet space, he could feel the other person’s breath on the top of his hair.

Xu Qingyan’s breathing paused, and he couldn’t help but slowly look up.

There was no light in the room, and only a few specks of moonlight shone in through the window, leaving a hazy glow that allowed the two to barely see each other’s faces.

Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, or perhaps it was because of what Lu Ze had done. Xu Qingyan looked up at him and only felt his heart was beating very fast, and the affection in his heart seemed to be surging and burning.

He slowly stretched out his hand and gently traced the other person’s lips. Lu Ze opened his mouth and held his finger.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Xu Qingyan slowly looked up and kissed him.

Between their lips and tongues, it was extremely lingering, and extremely gentle.

The atmosphere in the room slowly heated up, and the sound that made one’s face turn red and heart beat faster was subtle but heart-trembling. Because it was not in their own home, this occasion was inevitably a little worrying.

But there was another kind of pleasure.

Xu Qingyan tilted his neck up, bit his lower lip tightly, and the corners of his eyes turned red.

The kiss gradually moved down. Perhaps it was the alcohol’s fault, but Lu Ze also slowly crossed the previous boundaries.

He put his hands in his hair, his throat suppressing a sound, but he didn’t dare to be presumptuous, for fear that Xu’s father and mother would notice something.

His clothes gradually became messy, and his breathing also gradually became chaotic. Lu Ze sensed something, and his movements paused. He looked at him in the hazy moonlight and asked, “In your dream before… what did I do to you?”

Xu Qingyan looked up at him, his eyes filled with water.

He swallowed and said, “You kissed me…”

“And?”

“And… you touched me…”

“And then?”

Xu Qingyan was trembling a little. “N-nothing else?”

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. “Nothing else?”

Xu Qingyan shook his head.

A laugh escaped from Lu Ze’s throat. He lowered his head and asked his hazy, teary eyes, and said in a low voice, “Then let me teach you… what else there is, okay, Gege?”

Xu Qingyan’s eyelashes trembled, and he slowly hugged his back.

Lu Ze’s hand slowly slid down…
